TEST DRIVE MEME #1

[capitalm]

No gimmicky dinosaur setup this time round, since the game is actually rolling now! If you've got a character you want to try out in this setting, make a thread with them on here, and if you don't, see if you can tag other people with your characters.

Test drive threads can be anything you like, in-person or online, just make it clear which one your thread is when you start it. Make sure to put the name of the character and what canon they're from in the subject, so people know who they are and where they come from.

Can I use test drive threads as samples for my app?
Indeed you may, fair stranger

Can I decide a test drive thread is game canon?
Heck yeah you can, provided the person you threaded it with is cool with that too!

Comments

"Thanks for the concern," Cynthia said earnestly, "but I'm stronger than I look!" The possibility that Severa didn't intend that comment to sound concerned crossed Cynthia's mind, but she decided it was unlikely. What kind of person made disparaging comments to someone they just met, after all? Certainly not someone who was Trailblazer material. Well, there was Karkat, but everyone knew he didn't mean most of it.

"Are you sure you don't want any help, though? The sooner you finish this, the sooner you can jump into team bonding activities without any worries, and two are faster than one." Cynthia knew she should probably let her new teammate rest and get used to her new room before recruiting her to participate in team bonding activities, but she was just so excited. New teammates meant new friends, and new friends meant lots of fun new experiences.

Team bonding. Sure. What an excellent use of time that she could be spending getting better at swordplay. Or seeing if the kitchen had anything of use to her. Or any number of other things that didn't necessarily involve other people. Still, she'd seen this kind of annoying steadfastness in people before and had the idea that this girl wouldn't exactly leave easily. She bent over to pick up the claymore, making sure to turn away so she could roll her eyes in peace.

"If you insist. My sword is the only really important thing here anyway." Which wasn't an entire lie. It was hundreds of years old, after all, and she couldn't trust just anyone with it. Her back straightened; she brought the sword up with her and walked back over to her bed to lay it down below the mount. "You can start with that box."

She indicated a box with open flaps, packed full of books on medieval weaponry. She'd already set up a small bookshelf, but hadn't gotten around to filling it yet. Presumably this girl could at least put two and two together.

YIKES i am so sorry about the wait, this tag got lost during my hiatus!

Cynthia was almost a little offended by the subtle implication that she couldn't be trusted to handle important things, but she shrugged it off. She knew not everyone liked having their stuff handled by other people. Keeping an open mind was crucial when getting to know new people, and, by golly, she wasn't going to stop now.

So, instead of commenting on any of that, she said, "Sure thing!" She picked the box up with a bit of effort and brought it closer to the bookshelf so that unpacking the books would be easier. As she knelt down and began putting books on the shelf, she took note of the books' covers. One had a particularly interesting cover image, so she opened the book up at a random page and started skimming the text.

"Whoa..." she mumbled, awed by the sheer quantity of information on this subject. Her eyes stopped on a section about the many technicalities of medieval lance heads. After several more moments of reading, she turned back to Severa. "So you're really into this sort of stuff, huh? I don't have any real weapons training – yet," she interjected with a sort of cheerful determination, "but all of this seems awesome."
